Very interesting point. Most of Elon's "sucess" is built on the manipulation of government subsidies.
Tesla has actually not made ANY money on car sales.
ALL of the "profits" have come from "carbon emissions credits" purchased by other companies to "offset" their pollution.
Elon sells "Greenwash" to polluters.
China, the European Union, and at least 14 U.S. states have climate laws that require automakers to produce and sell a certain percentage of electric cars compared to gas-powered cars. These climate laws are actually how Tesla has made most of its profits.
Because the company sells only EVs, they receive lots of carbon credits from governments — $1.5 billion worth in 2021, to be exact — which they then sell to other car companies that aren’t meeting the electric vehicle target. Only last year did Tesla begin making profits without the help of carbon credits.
from “Heated” reporting.
Add to that the fact that the "waiting list" for a new Tesla is now about 18-24 months. But you have to put a deposit down right now. Basically giving your money to Elon to invest in crypto currencies.
Which he is under SEC investigation for his "pattern of price manipulation".
Tesla isn't a car company. It's a 'Carbon Credit Harvester' and pyramid scheme.
